The invention'relates' to molds and refers 7 more particularly to molds'for'use" in "castin'g hollow articles One of the-objects of the-invention is a to provide an improved permanent mold, which; isfiso constructed that it-may be readily; operated at a rate of'spe'edtoma'intain a'sufficiently high temperatureftopr'oduce good castings; Another object' is to'pr'ovide an improved mechanism for actuatinglthe core. "Further objects of the invention reside in the "novel features of construction and combinations and arrange ments ofparts as more fully hereinafter set f t-1 j Tf l In the-drawin'gs-:w q; Figurel is a" plan viewoflthe mold, embodying our invention; 1 1 Figure 2 is an endview .partlyin section th e f); v

The casting which is 4 formed in this mold has the opening 6 in its closed end and the external fiat face 7 in its side adjacent the opening 6. The casting also has the opening 8 in its side in-alignment with the flat face 7 and adjacentits open end. 7 I .7 t

This third core'is suitably guided to move in a rectilinear path by'being made to fit in the guideway- 12 formed in the upper. face of the support 5. 13 is a horizontally movable lever pivota'lly connectedat 14: to thelsupe port 5 and pivotally connected intermediate its endsby-the pin 15 to the core Sinceconsiderable force is often re uired 'to'withdraw the main core 9gafterthe casting has been poured, we have provided toggle linkage for actuating the core, andsince 1t in a rectilinear path, we have provided means for guidingthe core to move" in a recilinearpath and we-have arranged the connection between the toggle linkage and the coreto permit this movement; Indetail, 1 6 is a bushing encirclingand guiding v the core,this bushing being rigidly secured to the support 5=and preferably extending upwardly therethroughto form a pilot or stop fin the nature of an annular shoulder is essential'that the "core be gui'dedtoiinove t gage in keyway s 18 extending longitudinally in the "bushing." 19 is 'a link pivotallycon nected'f at 20 to the lug 21' upon the bushing '16,- and 22 is a lever pivotallyconnected at one end to the lower end'of the link 19 b the pin23, this lever extendingpreferably at right "angles to the line connecting the keys 17'and being pivot-ally connected'at 24 to the core. The other end of the lever is pivotally connected to the toggle linkage i 25',- which comprises the toggle links 26 i and 27 pivotally connected together at 28.

the toggle linkage 35. This togglelinkage comprises the toggle links I 36 and 37 which are pivotallyconnected to each oth'er at 38. The toggle link 36 is U-shaped and isjconnectedto the lever 34by means of the eyebolt and the pin 40,the eye-bolt extending transverselythrough the base 41 of the toggle link and being adjustably secured thereto by means of the" nuts 42 threaded o upon theshank of the eye-bolt and abutting 50 opposite sides ,ofithebase;
